Creating a Switch Cluster
Creating a Cluster Standby Group
The cluster standby group members must meet the requirements described in the
Switch Characteristics" section on page 5-3

(Figure
Instead of using CMS to add switches to a standby group and to bind the standby group to a cluster, you
can use the standby ip, standby name, standby priority interface configuration commands and the
cluster standby group global configuration command.

You must enter a virtual IP address for the cluster standby group. This address must be in the same subnet
as the IP addresses of the switch. The group number must be unique within the IP subnet. It can be from
0 to 255, and the default is 0. The group name can have up to 31 characters.
The Standby Command Configuration window uses the default values for the preempt and name
commands that you have set by using the CLI. If you use this window to create the HSRP group, all
switches in the group have the preempt command enabled. You must also provide a name for the group.
Note
The HSRP standby hold time interval should be greater than or equal to 3 times the hello time
interval. The default HSRP standby hold time interval is 10 seconds. The default HSRP standby hello
time interval is 3 seconds. For more information about the standby hold time and hello time intervals,
see the

When the command switch is a Catalyst 3550 switch, all standby command switches must be
Catalyst 3550 switches or Catalyst 2950 switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(6)EA2 or
later.
When the command switch is a Catalyst 2950 switch running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(6)EA2 or
later, all standby command switches must be Catalyst 2950 switches running Cisco IOS
Release 12.1(6)EA2 or later.
When the Catalyst 2950 command switch is running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)WC2 or earlier, the
standby command switches can be these switches also running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)WC2 or
earlier: Catalyst 2900 XL, Catalyst 2950, and Catalyst 3500 XL switches.
AC—Active command switch
SC—Standby command switch
PC—Member of the cluster standby group but not the standby command switch
HC—Candidate switch that can be added to the cluster standby group
CC—Command switch when HSRP is disabled
